Went by there today... there were about a dozen people out there. Few portables as well.

I plan on going tomorrow morning to see what I can come up with. Hopefully there will be more than 3"

Where were you at ace? Most of the people were straight out and slightly left of the access. A couple were by the first island. I plan on going straight out/left of the access - was it decent there?

4" of ice. Slow bite; tons of little bluegills everywhere. Few bass caught on the tipup and one crappie.

I'm going to wait another inch or two to bring my portable out. Then I'll really lay into it.

It's nice to know it's starting to make some more ice. When I went on Friday I was start out from the access. You still have to watch out for the path the boat made the ice is got to be thinner in that area.

Yeah before the snow I saw exactly what you were talking about. Insane. I avoided that today =)

Any reports on the ice? I am thinking about going out there on Sunday.

Anyone fishing the north side of the main lake by the tree swing island? I know that was a little late to freeze compared to the access and I would probably have to walk around the boat path. Hoping to get out there Thursday night but don't think work will allow me to walk it during the day.

You should be able to fish over there. Just take the back thru the bay. There should a good 5-6" by the weekend. The snow did not help our cause.

tink3R/Aceinhole- I cannot pm you for some reason on here?? how come pm's are disabled?

I wouldnt mind walking out with you guys fishing this weekend with my own portable and stuff if you dont mind a wingman, i am always on owdowd all winter, i have the x2 and the green wheelhouse might have seen me out there the past 6winters.

I really dont feel like venturing out alone this weekend with the unknown ice conditions.

Maybe we should have us a little GTG out there this weekend lol

Are you talking about a personal message. I will be going out sunday morning it you are interested. I normally just sit on a pail but if you have the extra room I would be happy to gone you. I was thinking of trying aroung the islands if the ice is safe. There should be plenty by then for foot traffic. You can shoot me an e-mail at kiesner17@yahoo.com.

bucket riding is fine with me! sure makes a lot easier to get out there.

you have mail

Is there an easy way down the hill from the parking lot in that back bay? I guess I've always left from the public access, but that is an awefully long walk draging a sled.

Well, you used to be able to park right at the top of the hill (that was nice). But the partying kids ruined that. So now you have to park out at the highway. There is a small parking area with a gate. It's still quite a walk back there, but not as far as from the boat launch.

TiNK3R would you like to join Kodiak and myself Sat morning around 6:15am ?
